Eric Trump revealed FBI agents refused to hand over the search warrant for their raid on Mar-a-Lago and kicked an attorney off the property in a new, incisive account of the Monday operation at the Florida estate.
Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, the former president's son said the 30 agents who arrived at the property asked staff to turn security cameras off – but they refused.
The bureau, he said, also brought safe crackers in to break into his father's safe, and he slammed the investigators for rummaging former first lady Melania's wardrobe and searching through clothing.
He called the raid another 'coordinated attack' on his father Donald Trump and insisted there is no way President Joe Biden was kept in the dark about the search.
The latest explosive account comes with the Department of Justice facing mounting pressure to explain what grounds they had for the search.
Eric said that his father's lawyer Christina Bobb was forced to stand at the end of the Mar-a-Lago driveway throughout the raid.
'There's 30 agents there,' he recalled of the Monday search in a phone call with DailyMail.com. 'They told our lawyer… you have to leave the property right now. Turn off all security cameras.'
'They would not give her the search warrant,' he claimed. 'So they showed it to her from about 10 feet away. They would not give her a copy of the search warrant.'

I dont think the FBI is stupid enough to not have a valid warrant...no excuse for refusing to show lawyer warrant
With Christopher Wray as Director, I believe that you are giving too much credit where none is due.
As I said on another thread, this is a big red flag. Wonder if those agents are part of Hannity's 99%?
No warrant? Secret Service should have treated them as intruders - and started shooting, if necessary.
In a sane world the entire raid would be thrown out in a court challenge based on this.
You MUST SERVE the search warrant, which means placing it in the hands of the property owner or his legal representative.
They could have had the branch office in NY serve the warrant to President Trump.
They knew where he was.
“I dont think the FBI is stupid enough to not have a valid warrant...no excuse for refusing to show lawyer warrant”
Yeah... like the FISA warrants...
They had a warrant. They refused to let the lawyer see it. Only let her see it from 10 feet away where you cant really read it
Do you mean valid or “valid”?
Intended to instill FEAR — not just in Trump, but in all of us.
If a Big Guy like a former President gets tossed, clearly little old us better knuckle under — of be destroyed.
THAT’S the desired product: Fear.
I hope he had surveillance that could not be noticed, so everything can be seen.
The simple fact that SS let them in with sketchy documents should give a clue as to loyalty of SS.
BUT-—THEY ARE ARROGANT ENOUGH
“asked staff to turn security cameras off –but they refused.”
First I’ve heard that they refused. If the cameras stayed on the FBI have perfected methods of getting around that.
So could showing it from 10 feet away get everything thrown out that was seized
Hope this makes it to SCOTUS
Good point.
If they had backpacks, as has been reported, they were bringing things IN. Probably planting spy equipment.
They also my have been on a mission to capture and destroy evidence and to gain competitive intelligence for the election.
Good point..probably the latter
